Victoria Chester

Victoria Chester is Full Professor and Co-Director of the Andrew and Marjorie McCain Human Performance Laboratory at the University of New Brunswick's Faculty of Kinesiology. She holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from UNB with specialization in biomechanics.

Research programs focus on clinical biomechanics across the lifespan, particularly:

• Multisegment foot and upper extremity mechanics
• Machine learning applications for gait classification
• Wearable sensor development for mobility assessment
• Rehabilitative strategies for neuropathic conditions
• Diabetes-related mobility impairments

Laboratory resources include 12-camera Vicon motion capture, force plates, EMG systems, and pressure mapping technology supporting gait analysis and movement studies.
